I am one of many people who purchased a language locked (Hungarian, Polish, Russian) SimCity game to save a few $$$. The thought was we would be able to swap the English Data.package (in SimCity/SimCityData/Locale/pl-pl) over to get the game in our preferred language. The following method floating around the web does not work.

Doing so results in this error message. (Yes we have redeemed it just does not work in English)
Opening the english Data.Package up with a hex editor, you can find a couple area's that might be edited to maybe get around this error, and force the game into thinking you are using a supported Data.package file. Searching for value's such as "Locale", and changing English to Polish, or searching for "ENUS" and changing it to "PLPL".
But unfortionatly I end up corrupting the file and end up with this error. I am guessing I should be editing with something else besides a hex editor.
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
Here are a couple Data.package files if anyone wants to give it a wirl.
